Anything is possible, but I just wish people would be honest. Unless it's explicitly politically motivated/targeted, it's pretty disingenuous to go to that. If a leftist kills someone for being a "Trumper," a "fascist," a "Nazi," or similar...yeah, that's politically motivated leftwing violence. (Somehow still rightwing, as far as media/ADL reporting goes, though.)
If a Republican kills someone because the aliens told him to...yeah, don't really care about the dude's politics. That's a mental health issue. Like with that recent pier shooting; the dude literally thought the gayKK was out to get him (LGBT + white supremacists, somehow.) He was just a lunatic with literal brain damage, sounds like, but will surely be painted as far right by the media, because he thought gays were out to get him. Despite him being terrified of white supremes.
I'm guessing this is going to be somewhat similar, since this guy is also a veteran. Veteran and family man = rightwing, as far as the media is concerned.
Its just the playbook that creating "hate crimes" allowed into existence. Where suddenly if you are white and commit a crime against a black, then you possibly were racially motivated and its somehow a "bigger" injustice. Even if they crime is entirely logical without the race angle.
Once we opened the door to those kind of mitigating circumstances, then everyone was always going to rush to try and take advantage of it for their team.
Don't forget that SecWar has been being bombarded by x-posts which have been identifying a slew of Communists and Assassination Supporters in the military that need to be removed. There's still a possibility that this was one of them, but I have no information on any motive yet.

Fuck the Civil Rights Act, and fuck LBJ.
